Central Positional Vertigo

—Clinico-anatomic Study—

Abstract

The authors dealt with three cases of central positional vertigo each caused by a different pathogenesis and presented precise autopsy findings in two of the cases after making serial sections of the brainstem and cerebellum. A definite correlation between lesions of the juxta-restiform body and central positional vertigo is suggested, with discussion on the mechanism of central positional vertigo from the clinicoanatomic point of view.
